Contact Form

If you are not receiving emails with our contact form, please check your spam box and add mailer@zotabox.com to your contact list. If this does not work, try a Gmail recipient email address (very important). If the Gmail address works, please tell your local internet service provider to ‘allow’ emails from Zotabox. Following these steps will solve this issue in 99.5% of cases.

We can’t set the customer email as sender because Amazon secured email service only accepts verified email address (mailer@zotabox.com) to forward you messages from your customers.
 

We set your customer email in the “Reply-To” field in the email header.  So when you click reply, the email will be sent to your customer email address, not our sender email.

Also, when you use our ‘auto-response’ the ‘actual’ sender will be mailer@zotabox.com but your customers will see your email address as the ‘reply to email’ and reply directly to you.

Your visitors will NOT see mailer@zotabox.com when you reply to them.

You can test this by replying to your ‘test email address’.

Mailchimp only adds NEW email addresses to your Mailchimp lists (not addresses already on or previously deleted from your mailchimp list).

Please use a NEW email to test email capture tools. Also, if you click ‘double opt-in’ on the zotabox setting page (https://zotabox.com/dashboard/emailservices/) your customers will need to click the confirmation link in a verification email to be added to your mailchimp list.

You can uncheck this box to allow for single opt-in (without verification step).

Note: Your field names must be the EXACT SAME NAME on your Zotabox setting page and your Mailchimp (or other email marketing provider) list to integrate correctly.

Please make sure first and last name are ‘not required’ in Mailchimp. In Mailchimp, go to ‘Lists’ – ‘Settings’ – ‘List Fields and *MERGE* Tags’.  Make sure First and Last Name ‘Required’ Boxes are UNCHECKED.
